One of my friends is studying at NIT Trichy and here is what they do on their weekends.
It is up to you whether you want to go out of the campus or stay in. You can enjoy your weekend either way.
No, it's certainly not a wise decision to pursue an MTech after completing BTech from NIT Trichy. The courses and the approach are similar, giving you no newer perspectives and wasting 2 years as well as the money spent. A better alternative is to go for an MS or Ph.D. abroad instead. That will be the true utilization of your money, knowledge, and time.
However, if you are hesitant about going abroad, an MBA from an Indian B school is also a great option.
An MTech in IIT should only be considered if you have a low CGPA and have no project achievement up your sleeve. The MTech course will give you a second chance to improve your grades and work well on projects improving your profile as a whole. This will help you open better Ph.D. options. But if you are not planning to do one, then MTech is again of no use.
NIT Trichy has a decent and well-equipped gym. The campus is widespread and accommodates around 10,000 people but there is only 1 gym for all.
You can book a morning or evening slot at the gym in order to avoid the humidity. However, it is manageable if you are quite passionate. There are certain gym groups and are approachable. If you do not will to be a loner at the gym then you might have to pull some strings to include yourself with them.
There are various students who install pull-up bars in their hostel rooms for themselves. Some have even rods and weights to lift and grounds around offer you enough space to run anytime.

If you are getting an opportunity to join the college, I will suggest you go for it.
You won’t face any kind of dominance or bias studying at either college. The students are friendly and unless you provoke the other party, no one’s going to interfere in your business or harass you. It’s good to make friends belonging to diverse cultures rather than limiting yourself to certain cultural boundaries. Usually, IITs and NITs have very friendly seniors and peers and there isn’t ragging in any form.
Remember you are not here just to score a high grade or win medals. Rather, you are here to change your life and yourself and only learning from others' experiences will help you go a long way. So don’t worry and go for either NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal and make the most out of the available resources. Be empathetic and always think from a broader perspective. Only then can you attain new heights.
